Mary Goldsworthy White lived with her daughter, Laura White Crump, her son- in- law, Henry Crump and her toddler granddaughter, Edna, in Saint John, New Brunswick, at the time of her death in 1902. Her granddaughter Mary Winn Crump was born ten days after she died, and my Grandad, Harry Crump (1903-1989), sixteen months later, to Laura and Henry. The primary image photo I have scanned and uploaded currently belongs to my maternal uncle, Mary's great Grandson. She is buried alongside her husband William White and daughter Laura White Crump. Saint John, New Brunswick would remain the home for daughter Laura until her death in 1959, and granddaughter Edna Crump, who never married, until her death in 1986.

They lived in nearby Falmouth at Fifteen Balls Inn where William worked as a victualler (a person who supplies food, beverages and other provisions for the crew of a vessel at sea).[6][7]

She emigrated to Canada with her children along with her brother, Alfred and his wife in 1872.[8] (Her husband may have emigrated earlier.)

She was widowed in 1880. Their family lived in Saint John, New Brunswick.[9]

In 1891, daughter, Laura was working as a "coat maker" (?) and son, John was a luggage maker (?).[10]
